Located just behind the Chapel at El Presidio de Santa Bárbara State Historic Park, the Orchard is a picturesque, rustic location located in the heart of the Presidio Neighborhood. Flanked by 80 year old fruit trees, the Orchard provides a one-of-a-kind experience with stunning views of the bell tower and local mountains and is a wonderful compliment to events held inside in the Presidio Chapel.
